On September 8th, Xingyao Semiconductor (Wuhan) launched its Micro LED production line in Optics Valley—China’s first 8-inch silicon-based GaN Micro LED chip pilot line, opening a new path in display tech.
Per the East Lake National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone, since settling in Optics Valley in October 2024, Xingyao finished factory construction and equipment installation in just 8 months (IP count over 100), a speed hailed as "Optics Valley Pace."
Micro LED, a next-gen display standout, shrinks gallium nitride (third-gen semiconductor) light-emitting units to micron/nanometer level, then integrates into high-density arrays. It offers fast response, high contrast/saturation, strong stability, and long lifespan—ideal for AR/MR near-eye displays (a "high-performance eye" for smart wearables).
Xingyao uses 8-inch silicon-based GaN LED epitaxy tech: mature non-destructive silicon removal enables ultra-high yield, and the process is highly compatible with 8-inch CMOS manufacturing. Its products suit AR/MR glasses. Post-launch, the firm will focus on capacity ramp-up, yield improvement, and cost optimization to turn the line into a global Micro LED benchmark.
